What about all the hoopla from the black and brown "activists" saying that Burns did not interview any minorities for the series?

NOw Burns has to go out and recut and re-edit the whole series to satisfy them.

If you like documentaries and stuff about war check out the Military Channel.
I just got it and find that it's heads and shoulders above anything I have watched on any other channels- Matter of fact I watched it for 6 hours straight when it first showed up on my cable.

I saw it Sunday night. I missed all but the last few minutes of last night because of a meeting at church. I didn't know that the U.S. fought in the Pacific before Europe, I thought it was the other way around. I also didn't realize the extent of the fighting in northern Africa. I'm going to miss it again tomorrow night because of my rehearsal. My VCR isn't connected to my TV correctly. I hope it will be made available on DVD eventually and then I can get it from the library. This one seems to have more narration and interviews than his series about the Civil War. Very mesmerizing.

I've been Boo'd... right off the stage!

Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

I found it interesting the other night when it was said the Japanese thought the American POW's were cowards because they were captured and didn't die for their country.

All I could think of were current events. The Japanese from WWII remind me of the people who strap bombs on their backs today and die for either their country or their relegion.

I also thought it was interesting that in Alabama, here we are in WWII and they're thinking of segregation! It's like...helllloooo...we're at war. Now's not the time (nor is there ever a time) to talk about segregation! But in the middle of WWII? Amazing.

Unfortunately I missed the entire series. Ken Burns' documentaries are excellent. I went to the PBS website to see if the series was available on DVD, and it is........yours for only $129!

No, the series isn't over. There are three more new episodes, tonight, Monday and Tuesday. If you have a VCR or some sort of recording system, check out the PBS listings. This series has been repeating episodes left and right, so you may be in luck.

Oh, LH, you can buy the book for $38.00.
